What a beautiful young couple that tied the knot this morning! Amanda and Justin couldn't have planned a better day to celebrate. For the weather turned out better than expected and the location in Anaheim Hills at the Golf Course and Club was ideal! I have to tell you that I adored the young couple when they came to see me back in September to have me create their wedding top tier cake and cupcakes for their guests. Amanda always kept me posted! So I couldn't wait to create something perfect for the couples happiest day.

Her sister in law graciously gave me stems of green dendrobiums to decorate. Debbie, whom is Amanda's sister in law, has a wonderful floral business named Flower's Etc. in Fountain Valley! It was Debbie who had recommended me to Amanda when we both had inadvertently catered to the Gilkey wedding last year. How exciting!!! Please check out her website because you will be impressed! I can't wait to show some of the wedding photos from the photographer.

Best wishes to you! I wish Amanda and Justin true happiness for their future together!

Don't you know of anyone who might be expecting a bundle of sweetness anytime soon? I just came in contact with Diane from Treasured Totes on Etsy and she makes the best bags out of my cupcake pattern that I have ever seen! She contacted me today to let me know that she created something new , a diaper bag, with the cupcake pattern ....and I just had to take a look! Isn't it cute!!! If nobody snatches it.... I will!!!!!

So I was walking into JoAnne's the other day.....and no joke.... I finally saw the fabrics I had designed for Project Runway! These are a few of the designs they have used on some fashionable accessories for all of you handy sewers! I will see if I can show you some of the other designs that I coordinated with the ones that you are viewing here in a seperate post. There is a blue and black 'dress form" Project Runway Tote that I snatched up while I was in there. I rememebered seeing the production for the multi orange/red and brown tote bag too. It's been last year since these patterns were completed...so it's hard keeping up! The multi red and orange Project Runway Tote is great because the pattern is twice the size from the blue version! I like seeing my work bigger.... Oh the vanity hehehee! Here is the best place on line to check out and buy the accessories for Project Runway. The other is Robert Kaufman's where you can see the entire line I created here!

About Me

I am a freelance textile designer who has designed everything from Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville to baby bibs for Funkie Baby! Fabulous cupcakes, textiles, photography, graphics and fashion design seem to go quite well together! Now I have something to be passionate about.... These are a few of my favorite things to create in life for this fun loving artist who really loves to make life "sweeter"!

DITZIE BABY BLOOMERS!

This is a place where babies are cool to drool and wiggle their little ruffled bottoms! I will be launching a new line of baby apparel to make your adorable babies Fashionably Couture! By trade as a licensed textile artist, your baby will own a one of a kind fashion by me!

Ditzie Cakes will be carrying three designs of these precious bloomers in their on-line store. You may contact thebakers@ditziecakes.com anytime you wish to inquire or make a purchase. I will happily gift wrap them and send them on their way to you!

My Cupcake Pattern is Nearly Everywhere to be Seen!

I am amazed and delighted everytime I do a search for some kind of cupcake recipe and I find my little cupcake design nicely manufactured into a little girls dress or tote bag or heaven forbid..... an apron! These are what I found....
